Natural Sphagnum Moss Turtle Substrate

Why you'll love it

This compressed sphagnum moss substrate creates the perfect natural environment for your turtle while being incredibly eco-friendly. Keep reading for all the details.

Product Description

Made from 100% natural sphagnum moss fiber, this substrate is completely odorless and helps maintain optimal moisture levels in your turtle tank. The compressed "flake" measures 6.3" x 5.9" x 0.59" (16 x 15 x 1.5 cm) and weighs about 3 ounces. When you soak it in water, it magically expands to create approximately 2 quarts of fluffy, clean substrate that your turtle will love. It's super easy to use — just add water and watch it transform from a dense block into soft, moisture-retaining bedding.
